Tom Whitaker Biography

Tom Whitaker is Charcutier, Chef, Masterchef finalist and one half of Tempus, a new charcuterie company focused on sourcing the finest meats from older, heritage breed animals to produce some of the best cured meats that Britain offers. Tom trained in Italy under one of the country’s most famed producers and with his business partner Dhruv Baker, took their obsession with ingredients to its obvious conclusion, cured meats.

“I think cured meats are the true expression of provenance, its common to see words like heritage, rare-breed and dry aged everywhere these days but my partner and I are absolutely focused on delivering the best that this country has to offer, the charcutier’s work is simple, to find the best raw ingredient you can and respect it to deliver something that is the true representation of the animal”.
